Can I sell original artworks at nuzart.com?

Selling original art works is not on our mind in principle. The goal for nuzart.com is to promote artists and their works, and to ease the production and trade of these reproductions. Of course you can indicate if you want that the original work is available and get through an agreement with the customer interested but in this case nuzart.com won't have any responsibility on this transaction.

Can I sell limited edition works at nuzart.com?

In principle nuzart.com don't offer this possibility. We think it has not much sense (nor even credibility) guarantee the limits of prints on a print on demand site as nuzart.com is. Artists that want to put limits to their works may just erase the image once the number of the desired prints is reached.

You have two ways:
- Directly through the site, once you access to my Account
- Send us a DVD/CD by ordinary mail to nuzart.com and we'll make the job for you; in this case we'll notice it's done for you to include the tags and needed information. The cost of this job is 30 euros for every 10 images and will take about 10 working days.

What's the difference between a public, private and locked gallery?

Once a new account is created we'll ask you if you want it to be public, private or locked.

Public account means that everybody has access to your account and its images will be available in the search results. The most common is that you want your gallery public; this way you'll have more possibilities for trading all around the world.

Private gallery means that only when the password you indicate is introduced the contents of the gallery will be shown. This option can be used, for instance, for the artists that want only to sell their works to a special group of customers.

You can change from public to private and vice versa on every moment.

Tags should describe your work, put on the customer's shoes and imagine how he would manage to get to your images (f.e. blue, New York, sea, etc)

What's the maximum print size?

Images will never have lower resolution than 100 ppp.

Here you'll find some suggestions about the kind of file you can upload, the available printing sizes for every image, how to be sure the colour will be perfect and all the needed for your perfect prints. If you follow these instructions we guarantee that the products will be as nice or even better than the original ones.

File types: JPEG and TIFF

Nuzart.com allows to upload different format files to fit to your needs. The different file types have features that may affect to the product's quality, so to the resulting prints. We accept JPEG and TIFF files through direct uploading or on a CD/DVD.

If you're not sure about the file type to use, we show you both features

TIFF. No perishable files; that is, they keep all their properties and information of the original file no matter how many times it's modified or saved. Working with these kind of files is the best way to assure an optimal printing result. However, the disadvantage is they are very heavy files, so could be more tough dealing with them and upload them to nuzart.com.

JPEG. A smaller file thanks to the zip used methods. The amount of information loss can be controlled with the function Quality adjusts when you work with this file in Photoshop. A high quality JPEG can be an excellent option if you need to decide between file size and reliability of the photo. JPEG files are smaller and so easier to upload to nuzart.com.

Product size and pixeled

Available sizes to order in nuzart.com depend directly on the file size you upload; that's why it's so important to upload the image at the biggest size possible.

Pixeled

A pixel is the smallest size of a digital image file. Your image "pixeled" are the high and wide measures in pixels. We measure in pixels to determinate the maximum print size we can get because it tell us the absolute and finite measure of your photo.

We won't never change the ratio high-wide of your image nor cut it off without reason. We place the photo in the "container" which description you'll see below. Digital cameras, 35mm cameras and scanners, all of them capture information at different scales, so it may arrive that some of the available sizes will suffer slight variations. For instance, a small piece could be at 6,8 x 10 instead of 8 x 10 due to individual proportions.

DPI VS PPI - THE IMAGE RESOLUTION

Don't mistake DPI with PPI! Both terms are often mixed although they refer to different concepts.

DPI (Dots Per Inch) refers to the amount of ink by square inch needed to print an image on paper.

PPI (Pixels Per Inch) refers to the number of pieces of information presents on a square of the photo printing size desired. It's also known as output resolution. For an optimal result, we use to place the resolution at 150 PPI or 300 PPI, but we get also great results even at 100 PPI. This the minimum output resolution that allows our system, so it won't never come out from our store anything with less than 100 PPI resolution.

IS THERE ANY SIZE UNABLE TO GET?

Once you upload your images it may happen that some size can be ac
quired ( you'll see it's crossed out). If you see no sizes to get that means that our system considered that your images are not big enough to get an acceptable quality for production at the desired size. We recommend not to increase the pixeled of your images by hand - also known as up-sampling -. What up-sampling makes is to add information or more pixels artificially when in fact there's no such increase. This can take to a serious damage or pixilation of the photo face to an unreal image size increase.

Up-sampling can take us to a fake and so the product result can be not satisfied or even disappointing. We can't guarantee that the final result with a photo with these features will be the desired.

How to know the size in pixels of your images:

Windows: open the file and right click on it, then go to Properties. The píxel size should be there.

Mac: If you see the file with the Finder, the size should be on the resume.

Photoshop: Select "Image" and then "Image size"
